lyrics

I heard the corn grows easy
Up in the Minnesota soil
So I took my family and we went there
We came back home
We couldn’t pull it together still

Clara, don’t cry
Clara, don’t cry

Our fifth baby was born early
He only lasted about a day
His mother soon she followed
Just closed her eyes and went away

Clara don’t cry
Clara don’t cry

Then one day Henry got a letter
They called him up to help fight the war
Gave him a gas mask and a shovel
And six months later they sent
A telegram to our door

Clara, don’t cry
Clara, don’t cry

What comfort can I offer?
I am not a church-going man
Lord, if you hear me tell my daughter
All of the words I want to say
I just never can

Clara, don’t cry
Clara, don’t cry

Jacob Mau Chicago, Illinois

Jacob Mau spins compelling stories of misfit people and misplaced landscapes oft overlooked by others, and ignored by history. As this year's winner of Chicago's longest-running open mic competition, hosted annually by Uncommon Ground, he is clearly a standout among the city's best singer-songwriters. Good things await this young musician."
